base hit runners scoring timely
We got runners on base without a problem. We just didn't have any timely hits. If we would have got a hit or two with runners in scoring position, it would have been a different game.
compete prepared
We weren't prepared to play. We just didn't compete tonight. I was very disappointed.
against game opponents played strong tough
It was another very encouraging game. We played a strong game and look to do the same against some tough opponents Saturday.
both easier offense pitchers pitching threw
Both of our pitchers threw very well today. It's easier to get out offense going when our pitching is on.
came effort game gave great second
Brooke (Boyce-Humbert) gave us a great effort today. She came out and competed well. She came back in the second game and gave us a great effort.
fighting fights-and-fighting injuries offense stepped
We are still fighting through some injuries to our pitchers. Fortunately our offense stepped up in a big way.
against great hits played scoring
We played great against Cal-State Fullerton. We got big hits in scoring situations.
caliber compete fairly four gain hitting home injuries next runs team turn visiting
We are fairly disappointed in today's effort. Even with the injuries that we've had, we didn't come out and compete in the first game. I told the team that we can't 'turn it off and turn it on.' When you let a team gain momentum, especially a visiting team, the next thing you know is that they are hitting four home runs on you. I feel that that is unacceptable for the caliber of team that we have.
awesome ball hit offensive three
We hadn't hit the ball like we could. We've done it three years with this group. (Thursday) was an awesome offensive performance.
area bad game parts performance physically worst
No parts of our game were there today. It was a disgrace. This is our worst performance of the year, without a doubt. We weren't there mentally, we weren't there physically ? we were bad in every area today.
anybody bit carry players ran
When you give anybody a little bit of momentum, they're going to carry it through the game. I ran out of players and I ran out of lineup cards.
among belong best fearless knows nation team teams
This team knows they belong among the best teams in the nation now. They are fearless and want to show they are for real.
capable hit last offensive putting road seven team weeks
We've been on the road for the last seven weeks and were a little road weary. This team is very capable of putting up big offensive numbers. If we hit like we did tonight, I think we are unbeatable.
facets game job nice pitchers potent seemed shutting southern together utah
We seemed to put together all facets of the game today. Our pitchers did a nice job shutting down a very potent Southern Utah offense.
